Yuvraj Singh’s video of him saying ‘my father has mental issues’ goes viral after Yograj Singh’s tirades against MS Dhoni | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh, father of legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, recently criticized MS Dhoni, accusing him of negatively impacting his son’s cricket career. Yograj’s remarks highlight a longstanding grievance, alleging that Dhoni’s influence curtailed Yuvraj’s career, despite his crucial contributions to Indian cricket, particularly in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup under Dhoni’s captaincy.
After the recent remarks by Yograj, a video of his son Yuvraj has gone viral, in which the World Cup-winner was saying that his father has ‘mental issues’.
Yuvraj, India’s 2011 World Cup hero, expressed concern over his father’s various statements, suggesting that his father has “mental issues” and is unwilling to accept it. Yuvraj made these comments during a podcast, signaling his discomfort with his father’s persistent accusations.
“I think my father has mental issues and he just doesn’t want to accept it,” Yuvraj had said in a podcast.

Yuvraj’s cricket career, spanning 17 years, was marked by significant achievements, including pivotal roles in India’s victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup.
However, after 2014, his appearances for the national team diminished, with his final international match being in 2017 against the West Indies. Yograj attributes this decline to Dhoni’s influence on the team’s selection decisions.
In a recent interview on the Zee Switch YouTube channel, Yograj expressed his deep resentment towards Dhoni, stating: “I won’t forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son can never be forgiven in life. I have never forgiven anyone who has wronged me, and I never will, even if they are family. That man (MS Dhoni) destroyed my son’s career, which could have lasted four to five more years.”

Yuvraj is widely regarded as one of the most illustrious cricketers in Indian history, having amassed nearly 12,000 runs and scored 17 centuries in 402 matches across formats. His all-round performance in the 2011 World Cup, where he scored 362 runs at an average of 90.50 and took 15 wickets, earned him the Player of the Tournament award.
